Here's an update. I've made good progress. Loving the hell out of this!

Before (11/08/11):

squat: 190 x 5 x 3
bench: 150 x 5 x 3
deadlift: 235 x 5 x 1
(overhead) press: 85 x 5 x3 (i think.. don't have my notes here)
power cleans: can't remember... still getting the form down.

Current:

squat: 235 x 5 x 3 (best was 245, but due to injury and form problems brought it down and now working back up)
bench: 177.5 x 5 x 3
deadlift: 295 x 5 x 1 (300 right around the corner baby!)
ohp: 97.5 x 5 x 3 (i have broken 100 before, but somehow i lost strength here?)
power cleans: 120 x 3 x 5 these are very sloppy at this weight. i need to take it down a notch.

Great Gains.

Bench 205
Squat 145 (gotta take it easy on the knee's)

Monday - PowerCleans 4x6 final set for 115 lbs
Wednesday - Incline Leg Press Dead 4x6 final set for 665 lbs
Friday - Deadlifts 4x6 final set for 225 lbs

Now that we are a few months later, the routine has changed a little bit and I am far more focused on form.
Updated

Power Cleans - final set 4 reps at 115lbs
Incline Leg Press (deep with narrow stance) - final set 6 reps at 595lbs
Dead Lifts - final set 4 reps at 275lbs (only set I use alternating grip, all the rest overhand)
Barbell Bench Press - final set 4 reps at 175lbs

I am actually pretty happy about the progress on Deadlifts.

Oooh, someone just asked me so I will cut and paste.

Exercise: Current Set:Rep................................................... Starting (September)
Squat: 125 x 3x5 ........................................... 65 x 3x10
SLDL 125 x 3x5 .......................................... 65x 3x10
bench 95 x 3x5 ..................................... 65 x 3x8
One arm db row 40 x 3x6 ...................................... 15 x 3x10
db shoulder press 30 x 3x5 ....................................... 15 x 3x8
Lat pulldown 120 x 3x6........................................ 75 x 3x10 (started in October)


3/wk full body compounds. Gonna up my squats and lat pulldowns by 5 lb this week. Soon I'll be squatting my bw for reps, which is a big goal of mine. Once I can do more than 1 pullup, I'll start adding those in.

Sorry, I suck at getting these to line up.

255x8 is no joke.

do you do an alternate grip on deads? use chalk? both helped me a ton.

Yup. Alternate grip. I need to get chalk. Thanks for reminding me.

Update.

Bench. Did 3 reps at 205lbs
Squat: Did a few reps at 275lbs.
Dead is still at 315 for 3-4 because of the grip issue. Getting the bar off the ground is easy. I imagine I could do 335 or 365 w/o too much trouble for a 1 rep

first post in bb group. hi everyone

my routine while i bulked was upper lower . ran it 4 times a week .

bench to 225 1 max
squat 315 for reps
dead 365 for reps

just hurt my knee doing cardio so ive stopped squats and dead while i cut about 30-40 pounds for the summer. hoping to maintain strength.

currently i am running chest/shoulders tri abs +rear delts then my other day back bi traps . and i do these about 4-5 times a week. trying to maintain strength best as possible. switched over to db's for this cut. putting up 85's for reps atm on press. i'll throw in light leg days once a week if i feel my knee is up for it.

What do you weigh? I'd like to try the 85s ( I do 75s for reps of 8-10). But the Y doesn't have any heavier than 75s haha

I'm about the same hight. At my heaviest I was almost 190lbs. got down to 180lbs and then joined here. At 180lbs, I'm was around 19% bodyfat. Trying to get down to 170lbs and measure again. Would also like to note my max lifts at that weight also

Currently, I run about 175lbs.

New to MFP.

Routine? IDK, I lift, and lift hard lol.

Currently 182lbs ~6' tall (my default pic was taken ~4 days ago)

Bench: best was bb 315x2. Last chest day flat db presses with 120's for 6 (inclines only 100's for 6)
Deadlift: best was 315x5...before the knee injury (currently still waiting to fix my right knee's meniscus injury, MRI's tmr, 3 months after the injury lol)
Squat: 315x6, again before the knee went out. Was doing legpresses for sets of 10 @ 900lbs

After ~3 months not training legs I'm losing my mind lol

May as well post again here with updates...

Bench now: 100kg x 1 (225lbs)
Squat now : 125kg x 1 (275lbs)
Deadlift now: 192.5kg (423.5lbs)
Almost up to the magical 1000lbstotal ha.
Gunning for a 500kg goal this year. (1100lbs).

not for me
big three: Squat, Bench, Deadlift.

though my power clean max is 82.5kg. Not quick enough to get any more than that yet.
